how does that work when **** goes wrong in the oiler classes ? they must have more 'approved parts' then us ???

inquiring minds need to know!

A great question that needs to be answered! They still haven't answered why we can put in our own roll bar and submit them to tech but we are not capable of putting some clamps and cables on our headers and have them teched for approval! I disagree with you Jim Carter, this fact shouts kickback real loud! Jim

" The NHRA Technical Department will also accept a minimum ½” (half inch) stich weld located each primary tube as an alternative to the tethering system."

Don't insult our intelligence with this BS response! Weld my headers onto the car? Only a moron with no knowledge of race cars would suggest this!
